Even decades after a genre-defining scream, Hollywood’s
urban legends refuse to die quietly. The rumored drama between the stars of I
Know What You Did Last Summer has kept everyone whispering in online
corners for years, but the truth is more twisted than any slasher plot. This summer,
the original cast is drawing headlines for more than just old-school scares,
forcing all to rethink what they believe about off-screen friendships and
haunting onscreen reunions.

Behind every cult horror classic lies a legacy, sometimes
built on truth, other times rolled from pure speculation, and in the case of I Know What You Did Last Summer, it may just be the former.

Jennifer Love Hewitt breaks her silence on dispute with Sarah Michelle Gellar

Jennifer Love Hewitt, once the scream queen at the center of
I Know What You Did Last Summer, is finally setting the record straight.
Contrary to endless rumors, in a recent interview with Vulture, she reveals
there is no feud with co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar. Hewitt admits the pair
have not spoken since they were eighteen, puzzled by the persistent rumors of
supposed rivalry. Hewitt questions why Hollywood insists on pitting women
against each other when, truthfully, there is no hatred at all.

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s words highlight a deeper reflex in
celebrity culture, where stories of discord are often manufactured for drama’s
sake. For Hewitt, the lack of contact is simple, which meant life moved on, not
out of hostility, but out of growing up and taking different paths. Her honesty
makes fans wonder if the media likes to create drama instead of focusing on
real friendships, especially between women who became famous together.

This renewed focus on true experiences off-screen sets the
stage for an equally compelling return to the story on screen.

The iconic cast returns: A clever, creepy reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer

The hook-wielding fisherman is back with the franchise’s
unforgettable originals, adding to the list of spine-tingling nightmares of
2025. In the 2025 reboot, Jennifer Love Hewitt steps into Julie James’ shoes
once again, now as a mentor to a fresh round of teenagers dodging slasher
danger in Southport. Sarah Michelle Gellar, whose Helen Shivers met a grisly
fate in the original, returns in a dream sequence, injecting chills and
nostalgia as she warns the new protagonist, played by Madelyn Cline.

This reunion is far more than stunt casting. With Freddie
Prinze Jr. reprising Ray Bronson and a sharply cast that includes Chase Sui
Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, and Billy Campbell,
the film bridges eras while spinning fresh scares. By blending original icons
with rising stars, the reboot proves that some horror stories and the legends
behind them are simply too memorable to leave buried.
